Getting Pregnant....... While Pregnant??????

I had never heard of getting pregnant while pregnant...but I vaguely recall seeing something years ago about twins born a month or so apart.  I think it said that the mom went into premature labor and one baby was born premature...but the drs were able to stop the labor and thus the delivery of the 2nd baby.  I don't think it said that they were a result of getting pregnant while pregnant...just premature labor that they were able to stop the labor for the 2nd baby.

Holy crap, I can't believe the responses that you are getting about this Kyle.  Weird things do happen with pregnancies - anything really is possible.  Like opposite sex identical twins - there is usually something "off", but still, it is true.  I too heard of a the case where a short window of fertility and several sex partners during that window produced fraternal twins with different fathers.

I sure like to be pregnant one day - with twins even  . . .  maybe triplets, But I wish not to get pregnat while pregnant.  I mean, can't that extend the nine months to 15  .

Best,

If my memory serves me correctly , I believe I saw an episode of Montel Williams where this woman had twins...one was black and one was white!!!  I can't remember exactly how it happened, but I believe it was a case of two different daddies.  I wish I could find it on the internet, but have been unsuccessful.

I think both parents where white but had African American ancestry on both sides.

There is a way it can happen. My best friend Michelle has a split uterus, she's got two pretty much. She can get pregnant in BOTH! So she has to be really careful when she does get pregnant again for it to not happen otherwise it can put both babies at risk.

24 years ago a woman I went to school with concieved twins by 2 different men at least 2 weeks apart. I remember there was a pretty big size difference. She didn't find out that they had different fathers for several years and it was pretty shocking back then. I had never heard of such a thing.

Superfetation (also spelt superfoetation, based on a hypercorrection — see fetus) is the formation of a fetus while another fetus is already present in the uterus. When there are two separate instances of fertilisation during the same cycle, rather than different cycles, it is known as superfecundation.

Superfetation is claimed to be common in some species of animals, but is extremely rare in humans. It can occur only where there are two uteri, or where the menstrual cycle continues through pregnancy.

Reports of superfetation occurring long after the first impregnation have often been treated with suspicion and some have been clearly discredited. Other explanations have been given (and demonstrated) for different levels of development between twins. Artificially induced superfetation has, however, been demonstrated although only up to a short period after insemination.

once you go into labor though you have to have both babies if this actually happens which is super rare and there have only been 2 actual known cases an happend in the UK. both babies would be delivered at the same time due to the body producing the hormone that causes labor and the water being broken you cant have a baby later, there are allot of people that beleive that you cant get pregnant while breast feeding and probably ended up pregnant right after the birth of the other child is a more rational explanation for this.

My aunts mother has two uterus's, so technically she could have gotten pregnant while she was already pregnant. Like a cat!
